Revue de presse :
PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS EDITION IS NOT AVAILABLE. Please refer to new addition Hidden Mathematics of Sport. ISBN 9781907554223 This book is priceless, even indispensable -- Sunday Telegraph, August 9 2005. This is a light, lovely and well-written book that will reward both sport-lovers and those indifferent to it. With becoming modesty, the authors call it a "dip-in book". It is also more. There is consistent regard for the importance of sport in human history. --The Times, August 18 2007
